1930s was a period of crisis in Uzbek Literature because of the Stalinist purges. In the early 1980s, the literature of Uzbekistan revived when some Uzbek writers' creations reflected the Birlik Movement.
After much criticism by the Soviet Union, these type of writings continued. The aim of this kind of writing was to preserve and purify the Uzbek language. The usage of Russian lexicon was minimized in their works. The writers openly promoted Uzbek as the state language of Uzbekistan. This was officially declared in 1992. However these writings were best known for their bold style.
Among the famous writers of Uzbekistan, Siddiki Ajzi (1864-1927) and the finest of his creations was “Sharhi Mulla”. Pirimkul Kadirov was one of the jewels in the world of Uzbek Literature. Among the numerous novels and books he wrote, " Jon Shirin ", "Olov", "Meros", " Besh yilliklar farzandi ", "Kadrim" and "Erk" are the best.
